Just picked up a PizzaQue at Home Depot today, $79 currently and comes with a pizza peel and stone. Not a bad deal at all, compared to the Kettle Pizza. One disclaimer I do have already, if you have a performer with a lid holder, it does not allow the Pizzaque to sit flush like it should. You...

Hope all is well. I have seen a few conversations around about the heat shield in the WSM 14.5. I for one have not had a problem with it...but - I am getting ready to build a new "home" for my WSM. I scored an extra steel table from Weber after a snafu with my performer deluxe assembly. I am...

Any fellow southerners out there seen or used the Publix store brand charcoal or hardwood lump? Since moving to Georgia I am shopping at Publix regularly for the first time in my life and have seen it in their charcoal aisle. I just bought some of the hardwood lump that I am going to use tonight...

Got my new Performer delivered yesterday, assembled (one small hitch) and fired it up last night for the first time. Made ribeyes for my wife and I - had some leftovers and figured I'd get creative with the leftovers. Steak & Cheese Pizza. I must admit, this is not the first pizza I have ever...

Anyone had any success finding a replacement cover for a WSM 14.5 online? Mine has taken a beating and could be replaced. I can't seem to find the one that came with it originally anywhere.

Guys - hope everyone is doing well. I have not posted on this site since way back when I first got my 14.5 wsm (still alive and kicking!) in December 2014. Way back when Tony and Maribel only had a few hundred followers on instagram! I've since moved from Raleigh, NC to Metro Atlanta, got...

my first few ribs cooks have been OK - I haven't been incredibly satisfied but everyone has seemed to enjoy. I think I have turned the corner, yesterday's ribs were the best I've made yet. I sprayed the ribs with 2/3 apple juice, 1/3 apple cider vinegar mixed with about a tablespoon of honey...

Cooking a small 3 lb brisket flat (first time!) on my 14.5. Started at about 8 this morning. Temp has been high today, using minion method and it is running at around 275 / 280 all day which is higher than my last few cooks. It is a bit warmer down here in NC today, thinking maybe thats it...

Cooking a brisket flat for tomorrow the first time on my 14.5.... sort of experimental. Small cut, seems like half a flat really, only about 2-3 lbs. My WSM usually hovers around 225, 230 using the minion method. I use Kingsford blue, and have hickory and cherry wood on hand. How long do you...

Had an old grill that I have been meaning to have bulk trash come scoop up for me... the other night after a few beers I got to thinking that this could be a great addition to my new 14.5! Not earning any style points here but thought I'd share: "new" stand for my wsm by pypiak23, on Flickr...

You may or may not have seen The Pit on Man vs. Food and even some other Food/ Travel channel programs - but this is the most "famous" BBQ restaurant certainly in Raleigh, maybe in all of NC. The Pit is a pretty classy BBQ joint. They have great BBQ, lot of hype behind it but I'm not a hater...

I've only been to the McCall's in Clayton... I don't have bad things to say.... they are kind of one of those small town eateries that may have gotten too big for their britches. I bet McCall's was awesome back in 1989 when founded - but they are pretty commercialized now. The restaurant is huge...

I ate here a while back on business. I ordered the ribs, which were pretty much terrible. They were slimy, a lot of fat - no smoke flavor. Seemed like they were oven made and not seasoned. The sauce on the ribs was pretty gross. I ordered corn on the cob and it seemed like it may have been...

I have eaten a lot of BBQ around the state, mainly I lean towards Eastern Style. I do not poo-poo Lexington style like some BBQ nuts, I like it all. Ain't no shame in my game. A few months back I was on business in Lexington and having eaten at Lexington BBQ (meh) - I wanted to try something...

Just a few of the things we served on Superbowl Sunday this year came from my smoker. Turned out very good! Here is my set up (14.5): Smoker Set Up by pypiak23, on Flickr I put a 9 lb pork butt on at 4 AM (not the best pic): 9.0 lb pork butt by pypiak23, on Flickr Rubbed the butt down...

Anybody using a Digiq or stoker or something else for a 14.5 WSM? Thinking about purchasing one in the future but not sure if anyone is using one that will fit the 14.5. On another note - are these things worth the hype? I have been using a Maverick ET-73 digital therm to monitor smoker and...

Anybody tried this with any success? I am worried I will not find a brisket small enough to fit... amateur question but - is it ok to cut a brisket in half and smoke one of top of the other in the 14.5?

Hello all - new to the board and new to smoking. Received a 14.5 WSM for Christmas and have had a few cooks with it so far - mostly positive! Information from this forum has been invaluable - thank you! I reside in Raleigh currently, originally from Maryland. Have been in this great state for...
